Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Orsay
The embroidery master is not so easy to find, just when Xin Andong is at a loss, the Olympiad, which is regarded as the top priority by Qingshui County Middle School, arrived as scheduled. As a student from Qingshui Middle School who was fortunate enough to be selected as one of the five people to participate in the competition, he and Tong Zhenghao will follow the team leader to Wanran City to participate in the competition this Wednesday, of course, it is only a preliminary round.
Because they were worried that the students would need to adapt to going out, the school decided to set off to the city the day before the competition, so that their contestants needed to bring their own clothes and stay in Wanran City for one night.
All the students who go to the Olympiad do not attend classes on Wednesday afternoon, and gather at the school gate at two o'clock, and then the five students are accompanied by the school's special teacher.
Tong Zhenghao was about to go crazy with happiness, he jumped on the bed with bare feet, cheering and cheering, "I have to bring some money, let's go to the mall after the exam, I want to buy a pair of shoes, by the way, I have to bring gifts to my grandfather and sister when the time comes, I don't know what they like, you have to accompany me to buy!"
In the past, his family went out to bring him gifts, but this time he finally went on a business trip and could taste the fun of bringing gifts for his family.
"Okay. Xin Andong readily agreed.
He was sitting on the side with relish, he took it from the bookshelf in Brother Zong's room, the first few times he changed his attendance, Brother Zong's few foreign books had already been finished by him, just when he was about to be completely short of books, Brother Zong was like a roundworm in his stomach and put several books on the bookshelf that he hadn't read before, although it was still in English.
Who asked him to use the excuse is to learn English, fortunately, his English is not bad, I believe that Brother Zong is also willing to continue to lend him books because of this, so he will continue to develop his hobby of learning English.
Tong Zhenghao saw that he promised so perfunctory, and was a little dissatisfied, so he stepped forward and closed his book forcefully, and his tone was sullen and a little aggrieved, "When you come to my house, you either read a book or talk to your cousin, and you ignore me." β
In the face of his crusade, Xin Andong felt very wronged, although he couldn't help but like to find Brother Zong when he came to Tong's house, but most of the time he was busy in the kitchen, how could he have time to have fun with Tong Zhenghao.
"What do you want me to do with you? I'm not interested," Seeing Tong Zhenghao twisting his eyebrows and saying something, Xin Andong immediately blocked his mouth with a headache and said, "It's not early now, you shouldn't hurry up and pack your clothes, you asked me to come to your house early and wait for you, but look at it, what time is it, half past one, are you sure you still have to fight with me here, why don't you hurry up and pack up your toiletries." β
After speaking, he rolled his eyes and left Tong Zhenghao's room, walked to the living room and continued to read quietly.
Tong Zhenghao, who was left to fight against the lesson, sat on the bed with a depressed face, and dropped the pillow a few times angrily before resigned himself to packing his luggage.
Originally, if he said two good words, Dongzi might have cleaned him up, but now, let's dream.
In the end, the two rushed to the school gate, although they were not late, but compared to the other three who had already waited at the school gate obediently, Xin Andong's behavior could be called free and casual, and they did not have a sense of urgency to take this Olympiad to heart.
Therefore, he was ruthlessly reprimanded by the teacher who led the team, and this person was Lan Minglu, the head teacher of Xin Andong and Tong Zhenghao.
"You two are really comfortable, don't you think that you can afford to win the first prize, and think that you can handle the competition at will?" Although Lan Mingqu said that he taught mathematics, he taught people so ashamed that he wanted to kowtow and apologize, as if he had eaten gunpowder, "How big are you two teachers and classmates stupidly waiting for you for half an hour, do you think it should be, the most important thing in being a man is punctuality, if a person can't even do this basic requirement, then his knowledge and education are only in vain!"
The other three junior high school students did not speak, but the schadenfreude in their eyes was clearly visible, although Xin Andong knew that they were not late for the agreed time, but since Lan Mingqu was angry, it showed that he and Tong Zhenghao had aroused strong dissatisfaction with each other.
At this time, just admit your mistake obediently.
Xin Andong can bear it, but Tong Zhenghao can't bear it, he looked at his watch, it's now 1:50, and there are still ten minutes before 2 o'clock, so they are still early, so he is very dissatisfied, and feels that the stinky ditch is simply unreasonable.
He wanted to plead, Xin Andong quickly grabbed his wrist, Teacher Lan's state was unstable at a glance, he reprimanded them just to find a fuse for anger, in fact, it was not deliberately targeted, it was nothing to be said two words, if Tong Zhenghao talked back, it would be called really hitting the muzzle of the gun and firing out of control.
Maybe Tong Zhenghao has an impulsive temper and a young master's temperament, but there is one thing he is very good, he listens to Xin Andong's words very much. So after being pulled for the first time, he had to keep his mouth shut even if he was dissatisfied with the stinky ditch.
Lan Mingqu saw that even the students who were educated by him lowered their heads, and even the most naughty little bully was silent, he felt bored after saying a few words, opened his mouth, and finally sighed and waved his hand, " Forget it, pay attention in the future, when you go out, the teacher will inevitably take care of the five of you for a while, not only the two of you, but also other students listen, when you arrive in Wanran City, you must follow behind the teacher, you can't leave the teacher five meters away, pay attention to safety, since the teacher will take you out, you must take all of you back to school, otherwise it is to live up to the trust of the school and your parents. β
"Did you hear that?" Lan Minglu's stern gaze circled around the five students.
The five of them were all half-sized people who knew the importance of people, and they knew that Lan Mingqu was responsible for them, so they naturally nodded again and again, and said in unison, "I heard it." β
"Okay, let's go with the teacher, let's go to the station to take the train now," Lan Mingqu was satisfied, and then quickly led the five children out of the school and walked towards the station, after a while, he took out a small plastic bag, which was very light and thin enough to see a few small pills inside, and said, "The teacher has prepared motion sickness medicine here, and the students who have motion sickness will tell the teacher." β
After he finished speaking, he saw the only girl among the five raise her hand timidly, her cheeks were very red, and she whispered embarrassedly, "Teacher, I can't smell gasoline." β
Lan Mingqu immediately took out a small pill and handed it to her, "Did you bring water, eat this pill." β
The girl's face was embarrassed, and she took out a plastic open-top cup with a red 'Xi' pattern from her school bag, "There is a cup, but there is no water." β
Also, at this time, unlike those various thermos cups in later generations, ordinary people drink tea with enamel cups written with five red characters written "the most glorious labor", and cups with lids that can be twisted and carried around have not yet been popularized, or rather, not many people are willing to spend money to buy it.
However, there was one in the schoolbag that Xin Andong was carrying, and Tong Zhenghao also had one that he helped prepare, all of which were purple sand thermos cups, the lid could be rotated and tightened, the bulging appearance was quite chic, the cup would not pour if it was filled with hot water and placed in the schoolbag, and the water could be kept warm, which was given to them by Brother Zong.
The girl didn't bring hot water, and Lan Minglu, as a bachelor, naturally didn't pay attention to these details, let alone the other three boys, and looked at each other for a while.
Tong Zhenghao pursed his lips, disgusted that people were unwilling to take the water cup out, and only Xin Andong was left.
He can't hide the water when he has it, and that's too petty, so he generously took out the water cup, unscrewed the lid, met the girl's surprised eyes, and smiled, "Stretch out the cup, I'll pour it for you." This is the hot water in a pot of boiling water that he boiled at Tong's house, and the cup has just been opened and is steaming.
"Thank you. "The girl's name is Zhou Yue, her family is also from the county, but her family background is relatively ordinary, she used to take a car to the big city, and every time she vomited very uncomfortable, she had to take motion sickness medicine, if it weren't for Xin Andong, she could only swallow pills dry just now, and she knew that it was very uncomfortable.
So she was very grateful to Xin Andong, and felt that this junior, who was two years younger than her, was very kind, and the dissatisfaction that had been piled up due to waiting before also disappeared at this moment.
"It's okay," Xin Andong simply did it to the end, and asked the other two boys, "My name is Xin Andong, he is Tong Zhenghao, we are students in the fourth class of junior high school, the two seniors are good, I was embarrassed to keep you waiting for a long time just now, I have warm water here, do you want to drink water?"
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, the kindness exuded by Junxiu's junior brother made the two boys stunned, and the hearts that were originally disgusted and dissatisfied suddenly had a strange feeling, they laughed stiffly, shook their heads, and said politely, "Thank you, we are not thirsty." β
Xin Andong chuckled and covered the cup, "Then you can find me if you are thirsty." β
Because of Xin Andong's behavior, the five originally incompatible strangers gradually became familiar with each other. Lan Mingqu raised his eyebrows all the way and looked at his proud protΓ©gΓ© to open the hearts of others in three or two sentences, and when they arrived at the station, the topics of conversation between several people had gone from introducing their names to inviting each other to come to their homes as guests.
Neither of them is a harsh and indifferent person, but it was just because of the misfortune that Xin Andong caused dissatisfaction with each other, after getting acquainted with each other, they understood each other's temperament, and the previous things were indeed not intentional on their minds, so the atmosphere is naturally getting better and better.
Except for the only girl, Zhou Yue, the other two boys, one named Zhou Jiaming and the other named Wang Kuan, both of whom are in the junior high school class, and they are classmates. And Zhou Yue is in the third and second classes of junior high school, and these three people often take turns to seize the first place in the age, and the competition is fierce, and they are the top students among the top students.
Although Xin Andong and Tong Zhenghao are more famous in the first year of junior high school, after all, the enrollment time is still short, so the other three are not familiar with them, but this can't resist the surprise and amazement of the three of them for Xin Andong and the two, after all, they are only in their first year of junior high school, and they can't enter the Olympiad entry list when they are in their first year of junior high school!
The two elementary school brothers are amazing!
Several people have the willingness to make friends, after getting in the car, except for Zhou Yue, who had taken motion sickness medicine and fell asleep, Xin Andong and Tong Zhenghao both lowered their voices excitedly and accompanied the two junior high school seniors to discuss the Olympiad topics from time to time.
Lan Mingqu, who was already exhausted physically and mentally during this time, listened to the sound of several children chattering and discussing topics in a low voice, and her heart seemed to be directly hit by the warm sun outside the car window, and she was inexplicably relaxed.
